Comments (English):Wonderful hotel. The rooms and courtyard are beautiful, clean, and nicely decorated. The food at the restaurant is consistently enjoyable. Staff are very helpful and went above and beyond in setting up travel, food, etc. Great experience!

Comments (English):The Hotel Convento Santa Catalina could not have been in a better location. It is centrally located with fantastic restaurants, shops, churches and sites all around. Very clean, accommodating and flexible. This was a beautiful and historic place to stay at a reasonable price. The staff were very helpful. Comfortable beds and the best shower I had in all of Guatemala.

Comments (English):Hotel Convento Santa Catalina (del arco) is located at the landmark arch in Antigua, which is convenient to just about everything in the town. The Parque Central and Cathedral are a mere 2 1/2 blocks away; there are restaurants, cafes, and watering holes in every direction; el mercado is only 5 1/2-6 blocks away in one direction, while Nim Pot and Nativo's are practically across the street.

The restaurant, courtyard, and rooms are all clean with an early Spanish Colonial look. My room (for the second year in a row) was very comfortable, and the shower did have plenty of hot water (needed after 5 days in the jungles of central Guatemala). The daytime desk clerks speak English and can give directions to locations within the town.

Overall, a great location, great value, and wonderful experience. BTW, it is possible to ignore the bells that ring every 15 minutes all day and night!

Comments (English):Beautiful room right off the central courtyard. Lovely in the daytime but when the band played in the courtyard until late it was impossible to sleep! I had an really early shuttle to the airport in the morning and had a heck of a time waking the guy at the front desk up to open the door for me. Located under the famous arch but the bell rings all night long as well.
